My understanding is that the tail is a place where beavers store fat, and so, when eating it, it is VERY rich/ you only want to eat a little bit.. I haven't tried it, but i did eat the rest of the beaver i caught, just put it in the crock pot for a day or so, and then shredded it like BBQ beef, added some sauce and serve on a bun.. and it was delicious :) Now I want to tan the tail (to make a wallet), that's how I found this video..
Great video
Looking forward to seeing how your project with the leather comes out. I've seen a holster for a Colt Single Action Army made from beaver tail leather and it looked great.
Loving this channel and sudbed . Hi from Northern Ontario Canada 😊

I have had roast beaver but not the tail. The book History from the Hearth A Colonial Michilimac Cookbook by Sally Eustice has an interesting part on cooking beaver tail. They wondered how to get the skin off. They tried boiling and the skin became like shoe leather. The Native American Interpreter told them to think like an Indian and use what they had. They hung it over the fire and the heat caused the skin to peel back. The meat reminded them of salt pork so they peeled the skin, cut it up and boiled it with a pot of beans adding salt, pepper, and chopped onions. For frying they dredged the pieces in seasoned flour and frying till tender.

Beavers is a really good meat
You give me a giggle, as a beaver trapper, I want to correct you as far as the beaver tail as a meal. The portion of the beaver thats considered the edible beaver tail is that portion between the hind legs and the tail itself, thats the part that is roasted.

Kephart in his book Woodcraft describes taking the entire tail, throwing it in the fire or coals and removing it once the skin starts to crackle. Perhaps Canadians eat the portion you are talking about...I don't know...I assumed they ate the section Kephart and other historical campcrafters were referring to. :)
